OIL

The expansion project at the Tengiz oil field may reach full capacity by mid-2025, the general director of Tengizchevroil told Interfax, cited by Bloomberg.

  • "We are currently in the testing phase. Everything depends on the performance of our equipment, and it will take several months to complete this process. We expect to reach full operational capacity by the middle of the year," Lyon said, cited by Interfax.
  • "We announced the start of production at the Third Generation Plant in January, but testing and tuning the system will take several months. Therefore, we will not see the full production effect for several more months,"
  • Tengiz oil production has already risen from an average of 606kb/d in 2024 to 900kbpd, a Reuters source said in early February.
